Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pint fresh blackberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/8 cup water
  • 3 cups chardonnay white wine, chilled
  • 1 lemon

Instruction

  • Make a simple syrup by combining the berries, the sugar and the water in a small pot and heating the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer, stirring every now and then, until the berries have broken down and the mixture is syrupy.
  • Cool the syrup and then pour it through a fine mesh strainer into a 2 cup measuring cup, pressing down and stirring the solids with a spoon until you have gotten all the liquid out. Refrigerate for several hours.
  • Right before you are read to serve, pour the wine into a large pitcher. Pour the simple syrup into the pitcher and stir until the wine and the syrup are well-combined.
  • Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice out of one half and add to the sangria. Cut the other half into slices or strips.
  • Pour the sangria into wine glasses, garnish with lemon slices and enjoy!
